      The CCHA says otherwise

      1. Miami 100 goals
      2. NMU 86 Goals
      3. UNO 85 Goals

        Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

        I love stats.

        By the numbers, at least one game this weekend should go into OT as Alaska has the most ties in the country with 9, and NMU comes in right behind with 8.

        If it goes to OT, my money's on Butcher for some magic.

          I never said that, so don't lump me in with that fraud.

          I do however, think that Olver will be a solid 3rd line guy in the NHL. He just keeps getting better and better every year. Even Comley said he's the best player in the CCHA.

UNO didn't play stiffling competition before coming to oxford but managed to give Miami 1 of only 5 losses on the year. Their is a lot to be said at this level for confidence and playing well at the right time, which both these teams are. To discount anything Alaska has done recently is completely ignorant. But then again Billy's tremendous track record speaks for itself.

            he is, after all, super human since he can get a great feel for home ice advantage all the way in Arizona.....
            Listen troll, what kind of jollies do you get from consistantly breaking down my posts? This is a NMU-Alaska thread, so your analysis and comments don't mean dick.

            A great feel for home ice? Yeah, I graduated from NMU and I know exactly what it's like to experience a sold out, amped up arena that's going nuts. It shouldn't matter where my career has taken me since graduating. I'm extremely active in my Alumni Association and still have many friends who live in and around Marquette.

            What the **** is your problem?

              -Selling tickets to students both in the MP and in the Starbucks area
              -Radio, TV, and newspaper advertisements
              -Posters in academic halls and residence halls
              -Posters in community areas
              -A few more I can't think of because it's early

              Let's pack the Berry and make it to the NCAA's and the Joe! Go Cats!
              That's great to hear! My old roommate during undergrad is doing his residency at MGH and he said everyone at the hospital is talking about the games this weekend. I really wish I could come back, it's going to be so much fun to see a Wildcat Sweep!!!

                Apparently i didn't specify enough...I was referring to the overall goals scored by CCHA teams, not necessarily in CCHA play only..and in that category NMU is 6th out of 12.

                  Yea Lake State tanked, but we finished where we were expected to at the beginning of the season....your program was expected to be an NCAA tourney team was it not? Barring a miracle those dreams will be washed down the drain yet again...you know what the difference is between a team that finished shi**y and missed the tournament and a team that finished strong but missed the tournament?? Absolutely nothing

                  One more thing, isn't it embarrassing that a "community college" still has more national championships and successful pro alumni than such an established university like yourselves??
                  Let me state in the beginning that I really do enjoy the people and hockey at Lake State.

                  1. You say barring a miracle we will miss the NCAA's. If we win 3 more games, we are more or less a lock to get in. Now I realize the word miracle is up to interpretation, but I think your use of it is off.

                  2. Why are we arguing about the talent of the leading scorer in CCHA play? I will agree that Olver has been known to be a bit of a puck hog. You see that as a lack of talent, but I would say that one has nothing to do with the other.

                  I apologize for taking up this thread with talk that would be best put into the NMU season thread.

                    It doesn't appear that the games will be televised in Fairbanks. Please, someone, tell me I'm wrong.

                        If you are going to look at season long stats, use it in the context of NCAA totals, not CCHA. I mean, we all cant schedule teams like Canisuis to pad our goals for in NC games. Maybe AIC is willing to play you next season.

                          Your my problem, I have too much respect for the actual NMU hockey fans. Your a fake, bandwagoon jumping goon. Not to mention completely hipocritical. There are a lot of very good NMU hockey fans and I have met quiet a few of them and the program doesn't deserve idiot's like you calling for the coaches head in november and then signing their praises 3 months later when they turn it around like all intelligant people thought they would.

                          Im here to support those good NMU fans who stuck by their team through thick and thin as well as the solid UA fan base who you are putting down with your lack of any kind of hockey knowledge. Not to mention its just fun and easy to bash you....

                            In their defense Robert Morris has beaten Miami and Bemidji twice this season and Union is a TUC as is tUMD.

                              nmu 27, the reason Olver is being discussed is because one of the posters suggested that Olver was the best forward in the CCHA, which is a laughable assertion...by the way I never said that Olver's puck hog reputation took away from his talent..it would be ridiculous to imply that the kid isn't talented because he certainly is...but it would be almost as ridiculous to suggest he is the best forward in the CCHA

                                I have no problem with an opinion that Mark Olver isn't the most talented forward in the league.

                                To consider it laughable that he might be considered the most talented forward in a place frequented by rather die-hard NMU fans is where I think the problem arises.

                                Next time how about "I think the most there are other players in the CCHA (Camper, Hagelin, Tropp, etc.) that you could consider the most talented forward." That might get you less of a knee-jerk reaction from your friendly college to the west.

                                You also need to factor in the fact that many of these folks have seen him play many or all of his games this year and have a really knowledge of his talent that is more than just fawning over stats. He is a complete player and will only become more so with coaching.
